Blood Hails Steel - Steel Hails Fire Lyrics

On this endless crest,
The wind chokes dreams with ice.
Unheard, I promise doom.
"Brother," may you perish!
Careful now, the white line narrows.
Your benign smile quickly vanishes.
A push; torpid,
Unbelieving eyes.
I watch the fall.
And silently, I wonder:
Old summits, slow decay,
We are the strong, yet still we crawl.
Red glows the horizon –
Eternal fire.
We starve, then we rot
In the name of the truest god.
Sire,
Call me defiler!
But there are no ties holding me.
In these wastelands, lovers come asunder and
I tell the liar:
Blood hails steel –
Steel hails fire.
With a heaving chest,
I run down secret paths
To find, in the cave where we'd hide,
Uninvited guests by your side.
My gift, my rage, my hammer's kisses
For every conniving pate.
No guile, no game.
Their throes compose
An inebriant hymn.
Blood hails steel –
Steel hails fire.
In winter, we drown in snow.
In spring, we drown in water.
In summer, foul eggs burst,
We drown in blood.
Ferakhia.
Hardship, pain, penury.
Karakh, chthonic terror.
The numbing frost, short-lived relief.
Under lurid skies,
I flee the tainted ground.
Shattered fists.
This deed so dire.
Blood hails steel –
Steel hails fire.I keep wandering.
Frozen, my heart retreats.
Blood hails steel –
Steel hails fire.
Of sanity,
A hole remains.
In the end, the light wanes.
Blood hails steel –
Steel hails fire.
The crests unmoved,
Flashing laughter,
Primal fear as I slowly tire.
Blood hails steel –
Steel hails fire.
